“I did not get invited,” Antetokounmpo said of Bryant’s camp. “It didn’t surprise me. I’ve connected with Kobe in the past; we text now and then. I think when that was going on, I was on the national team, so I don’t know if I was able to go there. But I don’t know if I would go there if he invited me, because there’s a lot of (other stars). You know, Kyrie (Irving) is a guy who plays for Brooklyn, and (a team) we’re going to play against. Kawhi Leonard (now with the Clippers) was there. A lot of guys was there. AD (the Lakers’ Anthony Davis) was there. Man, it’s not that I don’t want to (learn from other stars). I get better every day. I’ll learn from the 15th player on our team. I’ll learn from (Bucks reserve guard) Frank Mason. But my competitive nature is so high that when I go and practice (with other stars), I can’t do it. That’s me. I’m not saying it’s right, but that’s me. I just know myself. I know that because I’m a nice person, I’m going to start building relationships (with those other stars). And then I’m going to go against those guys, and they’re going to be my friends.”
“I got a chance to work out with him and play one-on-one with him in Las Vegas during Summer League,” Frank Mason said of the man they call The Greek Freak. “It was pretty big time. We did a lot of one-on-one, a lot of skill work, and also worked out with (fellow Bucks) Khris Middleton and Pat Connaughton and it was a good time. We all got better and just watching him live and watching his work ethic was unbelievable. I’m just excited to be a part of the team and to get to play with a guy like that.”
Asked what he liked about Antetokounmpo’s game, Mason did not hesitate to answer. “Everything, man,” he said. “He’s a 7-foot bully on the court. He’s unstoppable in transition, he’s almost automatic around the rim, he super coachable and he’s humble. I’m excited to play with him and he should make my job a lot easier.”

Darren Heitner: Source: Lil Wayne’s sports agency and Frank Mason III are resolving or have resolved all issues. Resolution comes within mere days of filing a federal lawsuit for $90k+ in reimbursement of advances/expenses & return of Young Money gold chain.
Lil Wayne wants his bling, bling back — claiming NBA player Frank Mason ditched his Young Money sports agency … and refuses to give back his YM chain. Backstory … Mason signed to Weezy’s Young Money APAA Sports Group back in April 2017 … right before the NBA Draft (he was selected in the 2nd round by the Sacramento Kings).
Sean Cunningham: In their summer league finale in Vegas tonight, Kings will play without Harry Giles (not hurt), Frank Mason (ankle) & Justin Jackson (not hurt). Team has seen enough of both Jackson & Giles and happy with what they witnessed. Other guys get extended look tonight
James Ham: From Kings: Frank Mason will not play today against Cleveland with a sprained right ankle. He is day to day for the remainder of summer league in Las Vegas
Jason Jones: The Kings have announced their summer league roster which includes De’Aaron Fox, Frank Mason III, Harry Giles, Justin Jackson, Marvin Bagley III and Nigel Hayes. Asst. coach Larry Lewis will coach the team.
James Ham: Frank Mason will miss the season finale tomorrow for Sac. An MRI revealed a slight tear of the plantar fascia in his left heel. Not the same foot as last time, but a similar injury. Not as severe. He is expected to make a full recovery in time for the team’s summer program.
Sean Cunningham: Spoke with Kings rookie Frank Mason III about his Kansas Jayhawks returning to the Final Four. He’s not surprised by their success this season. And even without him there, Mason said “I honestly feel like I’m a part of this.”
Jason Jones: Joerger said Frank Mason will be on a minutes restriction, even with Fox out. Did not say what the limit was on his minutes
Rookie guard Frank Mason III might yell to him, “Pull up on his block!” And Temple might translate that it means to shoot in the opponent’s face. “We’ll send a message within our group text and he’ll randomly reply,” Temple said. “(Monday) De’Aaron Fox said, ‘Who needs a chop in Houston?’ Anybody else, especially us black guys, know that’s, ‘Who needs a haircut?’ Bogi says, ‘What’s a chop?’ Things like that he’s still trying to figure out, so I find myself explaining certain lyrics of a song, what certain stuff says.”
Sean Cunningham: Kings rookie Frank Mason III is progressing well with his plantar fascia injury. Experienced no setbacks during recovery. However he will remain out until after the All-Star break to gear up for the rest of the season.
With De’Aaron Fox on the roster, the Kings have no interest in acquiring any veteran point guards, sources said. Fox and fellow rookie point guard Frank Mason make George Hill expendable, especially Mason is healthy. The Kings can also play Bogdan Bogdanovic at point. The Kings aren’t interested in acquiring long-term deals because they want to maintain financial flexibility. The Kings would also like to collect more draft picks as part of their latest attempt to rebuild and become a winning team.
James Ham: Frank Mason (heel) is out for tomorrow. De’Aaron Fox has been upgraded to questionable.
Sean Cunningham: Bruised heel will keep Frank Mason III out for remainder of the game
